Values We Strive For

When Jean-Paul Smets founded the ERP5 project in 2001, neither researchers nor practitioners could explain him a universal model of management. Eventually he invented the Unified Business Model (UBM) and based ERP5 upon it. The model describes all business processes of a company by relying on five generic concepts only. Thanks to this unification, ERP5 is more flexible, easier to implement, maintain and extend.

Customers

Computer science is a powerful tool: it should match the need of its users and provide the necessary quality. We advise companies from various business sectors and countries on the design and implementation of mission critical entreprise solutions. To achieve this, we place the relationship with customers as the cornerstone of a successful project. We strictly abide to provide the premium service their projects require. Our standard implementation process and methodology focuses on reducing lead time and offer maximum flexibility for scalable systems. To enforce continous quality, Nexedi's development guidelines are based on the idea that "Prevention Cannot Wait" because preventing is always more cost effective than repairing. Prevention is based on testing: unit tests, functional tests, performance tests, scalability tests and naming convention tests. Our software is designed test-oriented and all tests will run continuously on our own and client implementations to secure regretions from happening.
